Current Goal

Flipper the Camera Shy Dolphin's mission is to have it's picture taken with real dolphins. The dolphin is the wife's favorite animal. I created this TB for my wife as she loves dolphins so much, and is still waiting for her official honeymoon in a place where she may get a chance to swim with the dolphins. Flipper is willing to travel the world for great stories and pictures involving anything related to dolphins.

About This Item

Small, blue plastic dolphin. As always we didn't include this print out with the TB, if anyone could do so we would be very greatful. Thanks & happy caching, any pictures would bring much joy to Mrs. egsnyde.

Discovered It 9/15/2023 MiriCach discovered it   Visit Log

TL;DR: We don't have the trackable (and feel sorry for you if it means it is still missing), but stumbled upon its discovery code.

The story: I discovered this trackable/coin when I cracked the cache "Msportis Coinlihaus der 2." and then was able to reverse-engineer some Coins/TBs of the owner Msporti as well. By pure chance / luck while testing out possibilities for this I also came across this TB/coin. We hope that it's okay that we discover it, if not, feel free to delete this log. TFTC/TFTT 😉

Hey, I'M a real dolphin! I'm a Davis Dolphin. That's our school mascot. Too bad it's summer and all my little dolphins are out swimming now.

  • My Principal with the TB Mrs. Smith, the head dolphin, loved posing with this dolphin TB.

Not sure we'll get him to the real thing, but we'll add a few miles to his travels.

Okie Dokie! We're headed to Corpus Christi and the Texas Aquarium will probably be on our to do list. Will try to get a picture, if not we will set him free in the area of the aquarium.

Placed the TB retrieved in MD in the Wilson Mill cache in Bedford, MA. By the time we logged it, it was on its way again. There were no dolphins to keep it company in the mill stream. Perhaps it will have better luck in San Francisco! We won't be near dolphins again until next December in Sanibel.

After a brief stop in the Boston area (at the Wilson's Mill cache in Bedford), Flipper is headed to San Francisco...
